“For the first time in 372 years, the Winter Solstice, a full moon and a total lunar eclipse will occur together on Dec. 21st. In addition, the Ursid meteor shower, normally unremarkable, could put on a bit of a show while the eclipse darkens the night sky.”
And it’s Monday!
Sonnet 144, shaken and stirred. →
I’m writing a 10 page paper on Shakespeare’s gross sonnet, my favorite, 144. Google, ever helpful, suggests I explore the words a little, let them swim around in my brain before I begin to write.

I was a tall man
Who tarried a year
Beside the dark queen
On a broad river shore.
My most liquid lady

of the honesty
i’d locked away
until that day.
